* '''Google News:''' If you go to Google.com and look on the left side of the screen, you'll notice there is a section called "News" that lets you search Google's News database.[http://www.google.com/search?q=senate#q=senate&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvnsu&source=lnms&tbm=nws] But the search can be even more useful. You can search within a given date range by going to the left side and looking for the "Any Time" section. You can search within the past hour, past 24 hours, past week, past month, archives (specific years), or even a custom range that you set. This can be extremely useful for finding news sources quickly and easily.[http://www.google.com/search?q=senate&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1024&bih=677&prmd=imvnsu&sa=X&ei=70AXUOmAPIK09QSvgYHoDg&ved=0CCsQpwUoCg&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A12%2F1%2F2009%2Ccd_max%3A1%2F1%2F2010&tbm=nws]

* '''Google Search:''' As a general rule, the more specific and rare your search terms are, while still being applicable, the better your results will be. Use quotation marks ("the Zambrano Report") around words to search for a specific phrase that you're sure will be in the search results you want. Use a minus sign in front of a word or phrase (-Pelosi) to exclude it from search results. If your search results are providing numerous references to something you don't want, put a minus sign in front of a word or phrase that applies to the material you don't want, to narrow the search down to your desired material.

* '''Coding:''' The following are some codes to learn for editing:
 +
<pre>
 +
* <ref> and </ref>: Any material contained within the <ref> and </ref> tags will be considered a footnote, and placed in the References section at the bottom of the page. You can re-use footnotes by using <ref name=>, for example, <ref name=hersz>Herszenhorn, D.M. & Hulse, C. (2009, December 19). [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/20/health/policy/20health.html?pagewanted=all Democrats Clinch Deal for Deciding Vote on Health Bill]. ''[[The New York Times]]''.</ref> will let you re-link to this footnote in multiple places by using the <ref name=hersz /> tag anywhere in the page. A </ref> tag is not needed when using the <ref name=> tag to refer to already created footnotes.
 +
* '' and '': Placing two sets of two single apostrophes one after another will italicize any material between them. For example, ''New York Times'' will italicize the words New York Times.
 +
* ''' and ''': Placing two sets of three single apostrophes one after another will bold any material between them. For example, '''Coding''' will bold the word Coding.
 +
* []: Placing material within single brackets will create an external link to another site. The format is to place the URL or web address first, and then use a space afterward, with the text you want to appear. For example, [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/20/health/policy/20health.html?pagewanted=all Democrats Clinch Deal for Deciding Vote on Health Bill] links to the New York Times article,
